In the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial, just outside of Luxembourg City,
The flamboyant, but very effective, General George Patton was sadly killed in a motor vehicle accident and not on the battlefield. He is buried with soldiers of the U.S, Third Army that he lead during the Ardennes Offensive, His grave has been moved from amongst his fellow soldiers to a spot overlooking them. So many people visit his grave that it was causing wear and tear to the headstones and ground around the original burial site. A nice simple headstone that I'm sure General Patton would have approved of.

WR982 at the Gatwick Aviation Museum.
A direct descendant of the famous Lancaster. 185 were built between 1951 and 1958, The last of them in an airborne early warning role were not retired until 1991. They did suffer with icing problems and engine fires which resulted in a number of accidents and deaths.
A Norman Castle built alongside the old Roman road to London. Mainly constructed around 1100 to 1135 on the site of a wooden motte and bailey castle from the time of the 1066 Norman Conquest.
Monarch butterfly perched on red sun flower. My poetic thoughts :
Monarch butterfly on sunflower's throne,
Casting its shadow, a dance of its own.
Orange tones blending in the sunlight's embrace,
Nature's masterpiece, a moment of grace.-VFP
Landscape of a tea garden during dusk light in Palampur, Himachal.
The tea gardens were glistening in the soft evening light giving a surreal scene

The MG T Type series of very British sports cars were produced from 1936 until 1955, with a break during the war years.
The MG TC was first marketed in September 1945, an upgrade of the short lived MG TB of 1939. 10,001 TC's were made before production ended in November 1949.
Features of the model include 19" Dunlop wire wheels and a low fuel warning light instead of a fuel gauge.
Another rendition of landscape with Dhauladhar mountains in the background from The Mirage - Andretta, Himachal.
This is another view from the porch of the master-house at The Mirage. This was my second take on this scene. While the earlier was clicked before I saw an artist's sketch of the very same scene - pillar and bell in the foreground, forest and mountains in the background - displayed inside the house, this one was clicked after I had seen the sketch.

This candid shot was clicked indoors using ambient light only - a mix of natural daylight and dresser lights - while she was getting lady-ready.
I once read somewhere that monochrome photo-art has become cliched. Amateur photographers click monochrome portraits of the poor in developing and third-world countries, and think that they've created art. While I don't entirely agree with that assessment, I'm happy that I can hope to escape such criticism considering the spread of subjects in my art portfolio.
ZA 947 had an overnight transit stop at London Southend Airport in the company of the Lancaster, along with a Spitfire and Hurricane. All from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

I think that this is the tractor unit from Scammell's 6 wheeled articulated lorry introduced at the start of the company in 1922.
The for sale sign next to it says that HR 9157 had served with Usher's Brewery and had also been used as a generator wagon for a fairground.

At the Le Blockhaus d'Eperlecques bunker museum near St Omer.
I'm assuming that this held gunpowder, but don't know that for sure.
Displayed on the ground and in the air at the Flying Festival 2019 at Old Warden Airfield, Bedfordshire.
The Shuttleworth Collection's 1934 de Havilland DH.88 Comet, Grosvenor House. This aircraft was built for and won the 1934 air race from England to Australia. She travelled from Mildenhall to Melbourne in 70 hours and 55 minutes.

Yesterday's man has left a legacy that the United Kingdom is struggling to cope with. Not that David Cameron himself is struggling of course.
Gugielmo Marconi had very strong associations with Chelmsford, Essex. The Chelmsford Museum has put together an excellent display about Marconi. Crompton Electrics and Hoffmann Bearings also have a large area dedicated to their factories that were in Chelmsford. I was very impressed.

Southend-On-Sea, Essex.
The diesel powered rolling stock runs on a 3' gauge single track with a passing loop. There are island style platforms at either end of the railway. This version of the pier railways dates from 1986 and the local council is looking at options for a replacement. The first railway to run the length of Southend Pier (an earlier pier) was a horse tramway in 1851. The much loved electric pier railway came in to service during the 1890's with major upgrade of rolling stock in 1949. That system closed in 1978 and no trains ran on the pier again until 1986.
Displayed in Southend Pier Museum. The original Southend Pier Electric Railway was designed and installed by Crompton Electrics of Chelmsford, Essex.

This commemoration took place on the sea wall at The Point, Canvey Island Essex.
It was on the 19th June 1944 that two of the 379th Bombardment Group were in an air collision over Canvey Island, only 15 minutes flying time away from their base. One of the aircraft has been damged by enemy fire and lost power and height hitting another B-17 as it did so. The unnamed aircraft was 44-6133.

Seated in the front row of the top centre photo are relatives of the B17's aircrews who came over from America to attend this event. Bottom right is "Mr Canvey Island" Ray Howard M.B.E., a true gentleman who even found time to talk to me.
.......... I've been to his London exhibitions, I've bought his new books, and his older books from charity shops. I've loved the colourful and versatile outlook on life that he's shown through his paintings, his photographs and his unbelievable iPad work.
I would say 'Rest in Peace' but I don't believe that such a rare artist will want to rest.
A sad sight to see at the Historic Dockyard, Chatham, Kent. Especially on a day when classic vehicles were being displayed. I am assuming that this milk float is GMB 613T that not to many years ago looked to be in good condition and being used as a truck by cleaners within the dockyard. An ex Braziers Dairy vehicle.
An historic vehicle in its own right, representing green technology before going green was even invented.
Needs to be saved.
Photograph from the Rochford Hundred Agricultural Society's Ploughing Match 2019. Held at Hall Farm, Little Stambridge Road near Rochford, Essex.
A short production run for the Fordson Super Dexta, 1962-64. Built at the Dagenham plant just prior to Ford tractor production in the UK moving to Basildon, Essex. The Super Dexta looks very similar to models made before 1962 .
Brighton's Run2Music was a great opportunity for me to get out and practice with my new gear. Runners could do 5k, 10k or a half Marathon and the musical course with disco was a circular route around the end of Madeira Drive. So I was in the centre and able to capture runners over and over again. I thought I'd practice my long exposures, double exposures and a few normal shots.
NB: I loved the activity and the facial expressions, especially the lady in pink.
Built in 1959 to an old LMS design going back to the early 1930's. This is DB993856 on the Epping Ongar Railway. Seen here with Class 3 shunter, 03170, providing motive power for brake van rides at £5 per person. I regret not having a brake van ride now. But next time!

Labourer working in a paddy field near Ludhiana, Punjab.
Farmers in Punjab are heavily dependent on these migrant labourers to work in their fields, as the younger generation among farming families don't prefer working in their fields themselves.
Z7015 developed a fault just after getting in to position for take off from Old Warden Airfield, Bedfordshire.
A Canadian built aircraft that spent many years as an instructional airframe. It was returned to flying condition with the Shuttleworth Collection and Imperial War Museum working together to achieve a return to the skies on 16th September 1995. Unfortunately it stayed on the ground for the Flying Festival 2019. Still good to see it though.
KKT 277, registered in 1948, at the Flying Festival 2019 held at Old Warden Airfield by the Shuttleworth Collection. Not sure about the grille being a standard fitment and I suspect that the tractor itself may be a few years older than 1948, but I'm only guessing. Grateful for any help on that.
The backdrop is provided by N103NA, Flabob Express, Douglas C47/Dakota. Built in 1943 and had served with the RAF and Pakistani Air Force.
